Artisan Domingo explains, "To create this bracelet, I found inspiration in the color green, known as the hue of clover, symbolizing luck. Additionally, I incorporated shades of gold and yellow, which in numerous cultures symbolize financial abundance. I aspire for this bracelet to serve as a constant reminder that numerous blessings await, and maintaining a positive attitude will perpetually draw positive surprises into your life."

In this striking acrylic painting on paper, Indian artist Sunil Jaiswal interprets a temple as a serene space for meditation through bold abstract forms and a refined color palette. Deep blacks blend seamlessly with shades of rose, coral and soft peach, creating a dramatic yet contemplative contrast that draws the eye inward. The structure of the temple emerges through arches, domes and tiered silhouettes that are suggestive rather than literal, allowing viewers to experience the sacred architecture through emotion and movement. The central dome, rendered in sweeping strokes, becomes a symbolic gateway to inner stillness. Vertical lines mimic pillars, while layered shapes evoke sanctum corridors and shrine-like enclosures. The interplay of dark and light tones hints at the duality of the spiritual journey: shadow and illumination, introspection and awakening. Jaiswal’s style maintains a sense of fluidity, giving the temple a meditative rhythm and quiet grace.
